### OVERVIEW

This repository includes reproduction files for McLaughlin and Barron (2025).

There are three outlined R scripts. The code that cleans the data is contained
in one file: `src/initialize.R`. Code related to figures or analyses presented in 
the manuscript can be found in `src/manuscript.R` while the code for those presented
in the appendix can be found in `src/appendix.R`. 

There is a lock file (`renv.lock`) that contains all information 
necessary for reproducing the computing environment in R either manually or via
the `renv` package in R.
